Ja'Keil Gilchrist; Resident in Counseling
There is a light that shines, special for you and me” -Common
My name is Ja’Keil Gilchrist and I am a resident in counseling in the state of Virginia. For over 5 years I have worked close with individuals with or experiencing depression, anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and much more.
Many believe that in order to seek therapy you have to be at your last resort. At times we will need therapy as a reminder, and refresher. We all have to unpack that which has not been processed. We have also been through life changing events, experienced grief, started new journeys, and have been through unwarranted matters. Rather therapy was your first option or last resort , you choose to become better. Hope is always present.

Kim Mcleod; LPC
“I woke up this morning feeling like there was a dark cloud surrounding my mind. I felt really sad and I just didn't have the strength and willpower to get out of bed. So I decided to call out of work, canceled all further plans for the day and just laid in bed for the remainder of the day. I just feel too anxious to leave home and accomplish any task. I know I have a life to live, but I just don't know how to overcome this depression and anxiety to move on to a better life."
If this sounds like you in any way, this is your confirmation and sign that there is help for you. There is a God-ordained purpose for you. Life is beautiful and precious, and I believe you deserve to enjoy it to the fullest.
For over 10 years, I've experienced working closely with adults diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, bipolar disorder, childhood, and adulthood trauma. For over 4 years, I’ve experienced working closely with children (5- 17 years old) and their families diagnosed with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, mood dysregulation and oppositional defiant behaviors. I also have 2 years of experience working with children and adults with intellectual/cognitive disabilities and adult couples. For over 2 years with Oasis Clinical Counseling Services, I’ve been able to teach and help individuals and couples to implement effective and healthy Boundaries, coping skills, share insight on Self-defeating thought patterns, strategies for daily time management, and build a positive view of self in all aspects.
“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Holy Bible-Proverbs 11:14 NKJV.
My prayer and hope for you is not to allow the stigma of flawed views of error and false perception about therapy keep you from your divine healing of the mind. I believe your mental health is just as important as your physical and spiritual health. Becoming healthy in all these areas will result in a well-balanced life. Trust is vital and very much needed in therapy and I will assure you that your boundaries will be respected. I believe you have what it takes to live a successful life of productivity and peace. I am so very happy and proud of you for taking the first step. Schedule your first session today.
